Still uncommitted. I need a vacation and would enjoy meeting some people from outside this area, but am reluctant to spend two days each way on I-5 (boring!) to get to and from a two day Datsun event.

San Diego

Hash House for breakfast. Get there before 8 to avoid the wait.

Coronado Hotel on Coronado Island

Gas Lamp District for night life

San Diego Zoo

San Diego Aerospace and Automotive Museums (next to the zoo)

Irvine (where the show is basically held)

Laguna Beach is down the road.

You MUST attend an Irvine Cars and Coffee show by Irvine Spectrum on Saturday morning at 7 am. It is an incredible show held every Saturday.

Great Park balloon ride (free).

I thought the aerospace and automotive museums were a bit small and overpriced. But half the aerospace one was taken up with a star trek display so it could be better at other times. Unless I somehow missed a big portion of the automotive one it was quite small and granted I'm not a hard-core car fan so someone else could have found a lot more to look at there than me but we were in and out of that one fast.

I'll be instructing at the driving school again and walking around the show.

im rolling up with my 72 240z, if you see a rising sun on the glove

We'll be instructing too, going to the Saturday night dinner and the show on Sunday.

Please say hello if you see me by my car. That goes for everyone.

Thanks for the info. Where exactly is the Irvine Cars and Coffee Show held?

I'm always up really early looking for things to do till my wife gets up, around 11 or 12.:tapemouth

Four weeks to go until MSA, can you tell this MSA rookie what I need to bring to the show? Not bringing a car but would like to be prepared...water?? Also is the autocross close to the Datsun Heritage Museum??

Thanks!

If Larrys car is finished in time-just about a sure thing! I'll be trailering it over for display at the MSA Show and quite possibly a longer stay up the street!

Will

The show has food and drink vendors, but water is a good idea. I would also bring a hat and some sun screen. Last year was a scorcher.

Rif, here are the directions/map to Irvine Cars and Coffee:

Thanks for the info. As you can tell from my avatar the sun isn't my best friend early in the season even though that was the best burn from a Z show this girl could ever ask for.:laugh:

I'm be at Motorsport on Saturday and the show on Sunday.
